The prior service cost created by the recalculation is being amortized at the rate of $4 million per year. At the end of 2018, the pension formula was amended again, creating an additional prior service cost of $30 million. The expected rate of return on assets and the actuary's discount rate were 10%, and the average remaining service life of the active employee group is 10 years Required 1.
